In the drawings. the undershirt and drawers, indicated respectively by a and 7), are

i? intended to represent any conventional type or town of these garments. as the intention is readily operable to any type of upper and lower garments designee to be worn in such position that lower garment may besnpported from the upper garment. Therefore. while illustrating and describing the invention as more particularly operable to undergai aents. it is to be understood that b3, the t rm "und.rgarments" l mean any i ier and lower gar-mints adapted to be our in 'a manner to permit their connection means of the present improvement.

The drawers are formed or provided on opposing sides. preferably throughout tha portion coinciding with the tab area when the garments are in wearing position, with buttons of a size to cooperate with the button holes 3. In the present instance the buttons are shown as secured to the usual reinforce section. but it is of course apparent that they may with equal efficiency be "secured in any desired manner. so long as the requisite strength is obtained.

In the use of the garments with the improved connecting means, the lower garment is connected to the upper garment by bhttoning the tab 2 to one or more of the buttons-l. the longitudina} arrangement of the buttons and button holes permitting a range of connection to compensate for variations in the length of the garments and their set. for the convenience of the wearer.

The slits or out out iortionsl are the an ticularly important feature of the improvement, as by the arrangement described it is obvious that the garments may be connected, through the connecting means described. with the lower portion of the upper garment inside or outside of the lower garment. The inclination rand desires of the wearer are tlmsconvenic ntly provided for, and the connection between the garments. that is the proper support of the lower gnrmcnt. is equally effective and as readily operated in either position of the upper garment.
